Chapter 608: People Found

The manor of Prince Ying's mansion was brightly lit at this moment.

When the steward saw Xing Xing and Yu Yongliu coming, he hurriedly invited them in.

Princess Ying looked unhappy, fidgeting and anxious. When she saw Xing Xing and Yu Yongliu coming over, she was stunned for a moment: "You guys know this too?"

Yu Yongliu was unusually anxious: "Excuse me, Princess, the princess hasn't come back yet?"

Princess Ying shook her head with an unpleasant expression: "Not long after the banquet ended at noon, the little girl from the Zhu family came. She whispered with Qing'an in the house for a while, and then they wanted to go into the mountains. They said there was a very effective peach blossom temple in the mountains and they wanted to go and worship. The little girl from the Zhu family said that the temple was nearby, so I didn't think much about it, so I asked Qing'an to take two guards and went into the mountains with her... Who would have thought that it was already this late, and Qing'an hadn't come back yet!"

Princess Ying's face became uglier as she spoke, and she clenched her hands together, "I just asked someone to look for them at the Peach Blossom Temple. There were traces of newly burned incense, but other than that, there was no sign of the two children!"

Yu Yongliu's face was also very ugly. He took a deep breath and said, "Princess, it's getting late. I will take people into the mountains to look for the princess. I will leave my younger sister to you for now."

Princess Ying was startled, and looked at Yu Yongliu with a somewhat moved look in her eyes. She finally nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then!"

Xing Xing knew that if she insisted on going into the mountains in such weather, it would only make her family members worried and would be a burden.

She looked a little nervous: "Third brother, take some people into the mountains, don't go alone, light the torch and watch the road."

After a pause, Xing Xing asked again, "Third brother, are you carrying the amulet I gave you?"

Yu Yongliu patted his waist and said, "Don't worry, I always carry it with me. I'll be fine."

Xing Xing nodded without saying anything else, and stayed to wait anxiously with Princess Ying.

Soon, people from the Zhu family also came hurriedly.

As soon as she arrived, Madam Zhu paid great respects to Princess Ying, with tears in her eyes and words of apology on her lips.

Although Princess Ying was indeed a little angry with Zhu Yaoxu at this moment, she also knew that her daughter was an adult and entered the mountain on her own will, and she also agreed to it. If something really happened, how could she blame Zhu Yaoxu alone?

Princess Ying gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Madam Zhu, please stand up. We are all in the same mood right now. We can talk about other things later."

Mrs. Zhu was startled and almost burst into tears: "Thank you, Princess."

Mrs. Zhu is over 40 years old. She is so worried now that even in the candlelight you can see the clear wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the white hair at her temples.

Xingxing accompanied the two mothers, waiting anxiously. They watched the sky outside getting darker and darker, and a bright moon slowly rose up.

Princess Ying was still able to remain calm, but Madam Zhu was clearly unable to endure such torture and began to sob softly.

Fortunately, perhaps with God's blessing, a dusty guard hurried in from outside the door, knelt on one knee and announced the good news: "Princess, the princess is back!"

Princess Ying suddenly stood up from her chair and trembled as she asked, "Is Qing'an back? ... Is he safe and sound?"

The guard hesitated for a moment: "The princess suffered some superficial injuries, probably sprained her ankle, but everything else is fine..."

Princess Ying listened and felt only half relieved. She still needed to meet the person in person to feel completely relieved.

Mrs. Zhu asked in panic, "Where is my daughter? Where is my Yao Xu?"

The guard hurriedly said, "Madam, don't panic. The other lady is fine and not injured. She also came back with us."

Mrs. Zhu fell into her chair and almost burst into tears.

This guard had obviously returned in advance to report the news. All he knew was that Princess Qing'an and Miss Zhu were found at the foot of a cliff. When Yu Yongliu and his men found Princess Qing'an and the others, the guards who escorted Princess Qing'an were trying to save themselves by climbing up the cliff.

As for the other things, I am not sure about the guard who came to report the news.

Fortunately, Yu Yongliu quickly brought Princess Qing'an and Zhu Yaoxu back to the manor of Prince Ying's mansion.

Princess Ying and Madam Zhu could not wait any longer and were waiting at the gate of the manor. When they saw the team holding torches approaching, the two mothers rushed forward.

Princess Qing'an had a leg injury and could not ride a horse, so she came back on the same horse as Yu Yongliu.

Princess Ying anxiously called out Princess Qing'an's name: "Ningning!"

Mrs. Zhu also rushed in front of the horse that Zhu Yaoxu was riding.

Although the guards said that her Yao Xu was safe and sound, she still had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

When Princess Qing'an saw Princess Ying, she felt a surge of fear. She pursed her lips and started crying, "Mother..."

When Princess Ying heard Princess Qing'an crying, she felt as if her heart was broken by a knife. She trembled and said, "Good Ningning, it's okay. Don't cry. Tell your mother where you are hurt and where it hurts."

Princess Qing'an cried, "My feet..."

Yu Yongliu dismounted from his horse, then reached out and carried Princess Qing'an down.

Princess Ying was startled, and then she realized that Yu Yongliu had come back on the same horse with Princess Qing'an, and now he was holding...

Yu Yongliu carefully placed Princess Qing'an in the soft sedan that Princess Ying had prepared long ago. Princess Qing'an was obviously embarrassed at this moment and was too ashamed to raise her head. Yu Yongliu couldn't help but raised his hand and touched Princess Qing'an's head.

Princess Qing'an's mood improved visibly.

Seeing this scene, Princess Ying's eyes widened, and she felt as if the tears in her eyes were about to disappear.

Yu Yongliu stood up and said to Princess Ying: "My Lady Princess, the princess's foot was injured. We had to act urgently. I am sorry for the offence."

Princess Ying looked at the pitch-black night. The layers of mountains in the distance looked as terrifying as giant beasts lurking in the darkness, ready to devour their prey.

A man who is willing to rush into the mountains to look for his daughter in the middle of the night like this, if I were to say it, it's offensive... so be it.

Princess Ying now looked at Yu Yongliu as if he were her own son.

Zhu Yaoxu, who fell behind, sat on his horse in a daze, watching these scenes at the brightly lit entrance of the manor.

Mrs. Zhu thought her daughter was frightened out of her wits, and her heart was in her throat again: "Yao Xu... Yao Xu? Are you in pain somewhere?"

Zhu Yaoxu finally came to her senses and gave her mother a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Mom, I'm fine."

A group of people entered the manor.

The maid was carrying a sedan chair with Princess Qing'an sitting on it, walking in front. Princess Ying and Yu Yongliu followed closely behind her. However, Xingxing lagged behind by two steps.

Zhu Yaoxu and Madam Zhu were at the end.

If possible, Mrs. Zhu would definitely take her frightened daughter back to her own farm to rest first.

But this matter involves not only their own daughter, but also Princess Qing'an. Naturally, they have to give an explanation to Prince Ying's Mansion.
